Development of Dirofilaria immitis in Anopheles quadrimaculatus after Exposure of the Microfilariae to a Freezing Temperature

Blood samples containing Dirofilaria immitis microfilariae were stored frozen for periods ranging from 24 hr to 4 months, thawed at 38 ± 1 C and fed through an animal-derived Baudruche membrane to laboratory-reared Anopheles quadrimaculatus. The microfilariae were capable of developing to the third...

Zusammenfassung:Blood samples containing Dirofilaria immitis microfilariae were stored frozen for periods ranging from 24 hr to 4 months, thawed at 38 ± 1 C and fed through an animal-derived Baudruche membrane to laboratory-reared Anopheles quadrimaculatus. The microfilariae were capable of developing to the third or infective larval stage and migrating to the head and labium of the mosquito.
